Import Tips

• Source from certified growers to ensure species identification, as similar grasses may have different tariff treatments

• Test for bleach residue levels to meet FDA incidental contact standards if used near food displays

• Use moisture-proof packaging to prevent rehydration during ocean transit, which could reclassify as fresh
